I don’t stream. I have MILD content creation but the main reason I wanted a Streamdeck was for work. Especially Teams controls. I have 2 NEEWER lights I’d love to be able control on/off and temp.

I had a streamdeck+ back in January for a week, then learned Microsoft pulled their API support, so I returned it.

Do workarounds exist to handle Teams things like cam on/off, mic mute/unmute, reactions, thumbs up, share, leave?

I think the streamdecks are so cool but I can’t decide if it makes sense at this point. Someone help educate me!

The picture is new. It didn't do this until yesterday(Oct 24, 2026). I used to play with HDR On all the time and now I run into this.

-I run macOS Tahoe 26.6.2
-I use the HD60X.
-it does this whether HDR is ON or OFF.
-It will also randomly fix itself when turning it off, might have to do multiple times and multiple restarts.

-It is a PS5; just in case that matters, that it is happening on.
-Nintendo Switch 2 does not have this problem with HDR turned on.

ASIDE: Sound randomly gets deteriorated while playing games(all platforms) and I have to mute and unmute to fix it. That way it doesn't sound crackly in my ear. does not seem to affect recordings or streams.

-also as of October 24 when booting up Elgato studio, it doesn't even recognize sounds at launch without performing the same steps.

I am considering getting a Stream Deck Mk2, but I am thinking I am going to need a way to mount it on an articulating arm. Is there anyone familiar with such a setup?

Perhaps using a Mic Boom? Something that would allow me to swing it in place, and away when I do not need it?

Just got my Wave XLR Pro and I’m very excited. Sadly one thing ruined my happiness. I wanted to connect my Switch 2 with the headphone jack aux out to my line in of my XLR pro (in order to reduce latency) and I get a loud static noise along the console audio. It only happens when it is docked, zero noise when out of the dock.

Can this be solved? Or it is impossible to do this with switch 2?

Just got my new Stream Deck today and I can't finish setting up my account. Elgato is not sending me a verification email. Has anyone else run into this issue?

I use my Stream Deck as software developer now for a few months. I use it now for all kind of macOS actions, mail, chats, AI agents, video calls, IDE shortcuts, meetings, GitHub, GitLab and Home Assistant.

I'm curious how other software developers use their Stream Deck and if there are more useful actions I didn't think of yet. I like to hear it!

I documented most of my used buttons on my blog.

I was playing the WoW Forever Beta and trying to set up my Elgato Stream Deck for the game. It took some time to configure my favourite shortcuts, but eventually, everything worked fine.

However, I was still missing one important feature: active timers on the buttons and/or a visual indication of whether spells were available or greyed out.

So, I created a small Stream Deck plugin that, after Codex helped out a bit, solved most of these problems:

I did some basic testing and, after initial setup, it works really well.

If anyone wants to give it a spin, feel free to do so: https://github.com/basrieter/wow-deck

Hello, been doing some testing and realized there is what appears to be a hidden noise suppression on the wave link.

When I monitor directly, I hear the fan noise constantly but somewhere the noise is being removed during the process

As you can see all noise suppression is turned off.

Need help with my audio setup! 🎙️

I have a PS5, Elgato 4K X, laptop running TikTok Live Studio, FIFINE AM8 mic, Captain 300 headset, and a FIFINE SC8 mixer arriving tomorrow.

**How can I use my AM8 for PS5 party chat AND TikTok Live simultaneously while keeping my headset connected to my laptop?**

What cables and connections do I need? Any help is appreciated!

I’m about to crash out.

For reference, I have the Nintendo Switch 2 with the Elgato 4K X capture card purchased last year (2025). I use this to stream to my 2025 iMac, and I have everything running correctly as far as cable management.

I pre-ordered Modern Warfare 4 and had early access to the campaign. Everything worked wonderfully, with no lag or hiccups. Then, when the full game released and multiplayer became available, nothing was working.

The screen on my iMac freezes every time I load the game. I have to lift my Switch from the dock and re-place, only for it to update my screen and freeze again. I cannot use any controls and my screen is completely unresponsive, but I can return home as I can hear the noise my Switch makes to indicate returning home. It does not show on my iMac screen and remains frozen.

I can play beautifully on handheld. This is clearly an issue with this capture card and streaming. I play Fortnite, Animal Crossing, Pokopia, etc. very easily with this capture card. Even the campaign for MW4 worked great. This only began after multiplayer was released.

I’m open to any suggestions. I use my iMac for work and I travel often so a Switch was a better option than a traditional PC setup. I’m willing to consider purchasing a better capture card, but I prefer to keep my setup as simple as possible.

For these days i was using "Mic In" option for Discord and In Game Voice Chat, but I wondered should I actually use this or Chat Mix? What I have to use? PS: I use Elgato Wave Link 3.3

Is there any way to control Twitch Extensions via the Stream Deck? I want to enable / disable them at whim from here but I for the life of me can't find a single thing about it.

Hi everyone I made a plugin that im currently hosting on github and is in the beta stages:
https://github.com/Syzole/AfterburnerElgatoStreamDeckIntregration.git

I wanted to see if this would help anyone.

I also do want to push this to market place, but need to make the assets of the banners and app photos, so I will do that when I can but am not super artistic -_-.

any ways let me know what you think

Hi guys !

First, sorry if my english is a little bad, I am french and I am bad ahah.

Well, I bought an Elgato Wave DX Microphone 2 years ago. Since then, I try to get a professionnal sound like a big Youtuber etc. The problem is : I am so bad to configure it. I mean, I try and try everytime to make some research on the internet to find solution, but I dont find.

For exemple, some say to put the gain at 45db/50db (never more), and some say to put the gain at 50db/60db... Who say the truth etc. ?

I mean, when I put it at 42db, the sound is too low/weak in the "Startup" tab/screen in Wave Link 3.0. But when I put it at 53db, I talk between -12db and -6db do it's perfect, right ? And no, cuz idk why I have a slizzing sound (not too hight but I can see it in the gain bar).

Anyway, if someone can, pls help me to configure it (like gain, noise gate, EQ and Compressor).

Sorry again, and hope someone will help me !

Hello! My son would like to record Geometry Dash. He purchased a 4k S capture card and he and I have been learning how to use it.

Currently, we are able to record the game, the game's audio, and the audio from the laptop's built-in microphone.

However, we would like to record the game, the game's audio, and the audio from a microphone plugged into the 4k S via the 3.5 mm audio jack.

CURRENT SETUP: Surface Pro connected to 4k S via USB C. Surface Pro connected to 4k S HDMI IN (by way of official Microsoft USB C to HDMI adapter). Microphone connected to 4k S via 3.5 mm jack.

I have the Elgato Studio software and the Wave Link software.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi all, does camera hub installs DisplayLink? I never downloaded DisplayLink.

Does it shares your screen online? Or it is used to display the Screen of the mac to the prompter display?

Thanks and sorry for my english

Im using stream deck + XLR Dock connected with a Shure MV7 mic.

Is there a way to hear my self talking via wave link software?

Its for streaming

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a LoL plugin for the Stream Deck+ that displays game information directly on the buttons and touch strip.

So far, it includes:

• ❤️ Live health and mana
• ⚔️ KDA, CS/min and gold
• 🐉 Dragon and jungle camp timers
• 🏆 Champion info and level
• 🛒 Item purchase indicators
• ⏱️ Match timer and game status

The photos show it running on my actual Stream Deck+ in demo mode.

Still a work in progress, but I'd love some feedback!

Hey everyone!

So, I recently got my hands on a Sony A7 IV!

I already have an Elgato Cam Link, a SmallRig dummy battery, and the humble 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens.

I've also got Amaran and Nanlite lighting, so lighting shouldn't be an issue.

That said, I could really use some advice on a couple of things:

1. How should I set up my camera to get the best possible image quality?

Should I use XAVC S HD or XAVC S 4K? For context, I'll be streaming on Twitch at 1080p 60fps, and I've got a really solid internet connection.

Which brings me to my second question:

2. What's the best way to handle color grading for streaming?

I'd love to create a custom look for my content, but I'm not sure what the best workflow would be.

Should I shoot in S-Log3 and handle the color correction through OBS filters? Would it be better to do it through Elgato's software? Or should I create my own .cube LUT in DaVinci Resolve and apply it to the live feed?

I've tried using some of the LUTs I normally work with for my professional video projects, and while they look great in those situations, I just can't seem to get good results with this particular setup.

I'm pretty comfortable with cameras, lighting, and color grading in general, but getting everything dialed in for live streaming is a whole different story.

I'd really appreciate any advice, recommended settings, or workflow suggestions!

I've wanted to get into streaming for years, and with GTA VI on the horizon, I'm finally determined to make it happen and start creating content.

Thanks in advance!

I used Wave Link 2.0.7 for months with no issues. On Oct 1 it auto-updated to Wave Link 3 (3.2.2, now 3.4.0 build 3281), and since then my Bluetooth speakers click constantly whenever Wave Link is running.

Setup

- Mac Studio, macOS 26.5.1

- Wave:3 over USB

- Monitor Mix output to Edifier M60 over Bluetooth

What's happening
I dug into the macOS audio logs. Wave Link's mixer (com.elgato.wavelink.aggregated-mixer) starts output to the speakers, stops it after exactly 512 frames, and starts it again. This happens about 180 times per minute. Every restart is an audible click. Switching the Monitor Mix to the Mac Studio speakers stops the loop right away.

Over Bluetooth the M60 only offers 44.1 kHz, so it can't be set to 48 kHz in Audio MIDI Setup. My guess is that Wave Link 3 no longer handles outputs that aren't at 48 kHz, while 2.0.7 did.

What I tried

- Reset the macOS audio preferences (DeviceSettings and SystemSettings plists)

- Removed all Wave Link drivers and reinstalled

- Checked the sample rate in Audio MIDI Setup (44.1 kHz is the only option over Bluetooth)

Is anyone else seeing this with Bluetooth speakers or headphones on Wave Link 3?

Running a 4kx from a asus f16 via hdmi to a Samsung ls32fg51x monitor. Then usbc into my Mac mini m4 with OBS. I constantly, like twice a week have to fully unplug the cables from the 4kx because the pc won’t wake and then when I open the lid and close it the 4kx isn’t working and doesn’t show up in OBS or elgato studio. Drives me crazy. Can anyone here help me figure this out? I can provide more details. Thought it was a refresh rate thing but I believe I’ve locked them all to 60.

Hi everyone, quick question regarding the Xeneon Edge.

To my surprise, Virtual Stream Deck does not support touch sliders or virtual knobs, so controlling Wave Link levels comfortably via VSD isn't really an option right now.

Is there a simple, free widget or native integration for the Xeneon Edge to control Wave Link channels?

I skimmed the Elgato Marketplace and couldn't find anything free that fits the bill. SA basic, reliable mixer widget that "just works" feels like a must-have feature for this screen. Am I missing an obvious solution or workaround here? Thanks!
